Chapter 11:
It had been four weeks since the message had been sent and in that time the team has come a very long way. They have spent a lot of their time training and getting ready for the exams in eight weeks. They have still gone on missions, even a few more C ranks, though those were true C missions, like escorts, border patrol, and couriering. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura have been training hard in their perspective fields.
Sakura had been hard at work with her medical ninjutsu, so much so that instead of going to a doctor after injuries the team goes to her to have them healed. For her earth chakra training she was having some difficulty so Kakashi had suggested a style of fighting based on excessive strength much like the Slug-hime, infusing earth chakra into her fists to amplify the damage. The results were devastating, she was smashing boulders twice her size and her near perfect chakra control made it so she could focus her chakra on a small area of contact while her knowledge of the human body made the blows count. The weights she wore never really went higher as it was still takingher longer to get fully used to the excess weight.
Sasuke has been trying to get used to fighting with his sword for the time, he increased his weights and has gotten into the habit of sparring Naruto on more than one occasion. He was progressing at a steady pace with the use of his zanbato Of course Naruto holds back otherwise it wouldn't be fair. Sasuke has also been working on his jutsu library spending time mainly with fire and lightning jutsus. He has gotten to the point that Kakashi has been considering teaching him his original jutsu. Sasuke has upped his weights to the point that he was thinking about asking Naruto for a gravity seal.
Naruto was still gaining strength rapidly, in his swordsmanship he believes he could take his father (even though in his gut he knew he would lose, even though he had been training hard his father was still one of the strongest samurai alive). With his fuinjutsu he had gotten to a decent level, where he could make trap seals and suspension seals and stuff along those kinds. He has been working on his lighting chakra manipulation mainly as he has found the more control he had over it the faster me can make his body go. He has made his gravity seal go to three time's normal gravity sealing as he had maxed his speed out at the previous level. In the process of that he has taken the Shinsoku to a new level even going as far as to rename this new move the "Raijin Ugoki" (Thunder God Movement) which is obviously lightning fast.
The team had been training together a lot so that they could be ready for almost any situation, they even did another spare with Kakashi hoping to a least give him a run for his money, however they never removed their weights but still went full force.
It was during one of these spars that Naruto was struck particularly hard and passed out. When he awoke he found himself in a hallway that looked like the hallway that leads to the prison cells at his father's headquarters. As he walked down a set of stairs he starts to hear grumbling and rumbling as the young boy kept walking till he stood before a massive cell the only thing keeping the doors shut was a small piece of paper with "fuin" written across it.
"Well, well, well look what we have here," a deep gravelly voice rumbled from deep within the cell, "What are you doing here gaki?" the face of the voice came forward and to his credit Naruto didn't flinch when the menacing face of the Kyuubi looked right at him. "I'm sorry for the interruption Kyuubi-sama; I seem to have stumbled on your cell by mistake." The Kyuubi gave the kid a weird look, wondering why he was so polite. "What gives gaki, why are you being so polite?" This made Naruto pause until he realized that the fox had been in his head and knew his deepest thoughts. "I just feel like if we are stuck together we might as well be civil towards one another" replied Naruto as he looked the fox right in the eye showing no fear. 'Kids got guts,' the foxed looked the kid up and down, seeing the boys life as he had he knew he had a strong vessel and as long as the humans kept sealing him up he could live with having the strongest and the best vessel out of the other nine beasts.
"Tell ya what gaki, as long as you remain civil and kept calling me sama then I won't eat you" the fox gave a foxy grin that made Naruto want to grin, "Agreed" it was then that he felt a pull in his stomach as he was forcibly awakened by his teammates. He opened his eyes to see the worried faces of Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi, who had a most ashamed look on his face. After assuring his team that he was fine, they decided to end training early today seeing as how Sakura said that Naruto should relax for the rest of the day.
Upon hearing that Naruto went straight for his favorite spot in Konoha, the Yamanaka Flower Shop. He was hoping to spend time with his favorite blonde seeing as how they hadn't spent that much time together since graduating. Upon entering he caught sight of Ino casing out a customer, a young boy with a single rose (probably for a date). The moment Ino caught site of Naruto her face broke into a huge grin as she leapt towards him, "Naruto! It feels like it's been ages since we last spoke!" she complained making a cute pout. Rubbing the back of his neck, Naruto grinned impishly, "Sorry Ino-chan, I have been super busy training and I guess I didn't realize how long it had been." He finished with a lame chuckle as Ino leveled him with a glare. "We are going out and you are paying! I am picking the meal and the movie and we will have fun!" said Ino poking at his chest in a playful manner. Naruto grinned at this and held out his arm, "Well shall we my lady?" he asked, she smiled and took his arm, calling out to her father that she needed him to watch the shop.
Naruto was enjoying himself as the two sat outside of a quiet café, Ino was enjoying some tea and a few light sandwiches, and Naruto was enjoying the same. They had decided to eat lightly seeing as they were planning on getting snacks at the theater. Ino and Naruto were discussing what had happened on the wave mission, when the young samurai straightened, "ANBU-san you can come out now" he said out loud to no one in particular. It was then that an ANBU with a hawk mask landed near the blonde couple.
"Namikaze-sama your presence is requested at the gates as soon as possible." And with that the ninja disappeared. Sighing Naruto looked apologetically toward his date, who none the less smiled, "Well Namikaze-sama shall we head to the gates?" asked Ino teasingly knowing Naruto hated being called that. Sighing once again at the ruined date Naruto offered his arm to Ino again, which she happily took, and headed for the gates.
His eye twitched as he looked at the reason why he was yanked from his date, it was a group of four people standing there waiting to be let in. "Namikaze-sama these people said that they came here under your request, we just need you to sign them in and understand that you are responsible for their actions in the village" replied one of the chunin stationed at the gate. Nodding his head Naruto signed the people who arrived two weeks early.
Naruto leveled a glare at Yahiko as he led the group into the village. His sensei was still wearing the same type of clothes he had when he last saw him, the only difference was instead of one sword he now held two in his belt. Smiling at the glare he was receiving from his student and the fact that Ino was with him, Yahiko decided to tease his student. "What's wrong Naruto? Did we interrupt your date?" he asked with a lecherous grin, only to be hit on the head by the woman who was walking behind him.
"That's enough Yahiko, stop teasing the boy. It's great to see you again Naruto." The last part was obviously directed at the blonde samurai. This woman had a youthful face and dark hair, she had bangs that framed her face and showed off her bright blue eyes, and she wore a pale green kimono with flower designs. "It's good to see you as well Kaoru-dono" replied Naruto.
"Okay squirt, were here now where is this kid you called in your favor to have me train?" asked the man standing in the back of the group but still standing tall over them all. This man was thin and lean, but Naruto knew he had immense strength hidden in his form. He had spiky brown hair with a red band wrapped around his head and brown eyes. He wore a white gi with a black trim, he wore it open to see his chest and bandages wrapped around his abs. "I'll introduce you to him tomorrow Sanosuke" replied Naruto as he led the group towards the estate that he had had shadow clones working on the last two weeks to make it just right for the group of people.
"Well regardless we are happy to be here that we are." Replied the last member of the group jovially. This man was of small stature. He had long red hair that was tied back in a ponytail, with some that framed his face. His violet eyes showed that while he looked weak he was the most dangerous of the group. He wore a red kimono with white pants; on his belt he wore a sword. "And I am happy that you are here as well Kenshin" replied the blonde with a smile as they arrived at the gates of the Namikaze compound.
The six entered the compound as Naruto turned towards his guests and friends, "Welcome to your home here in Konoha." And with that the six went inside for some tea and to spend the night swapping stories about what had happened since they last saw each other. Kaoru and Ino immediately got along while they chatted happily. The boys were listening to what happened on the mission to wave and were proud at the progress he had made in his training. Naruto, at one point took a step back and smiled, while he missed his father and wished he could have joined him, he was happy that some of his family could be here with him in his new home.
A/N: Okay some IMPORTANT announcements!
First is that yes this is pretty much a crossover however I am going to be stubborn and not change it!
Second is Yes Naruto will sign the Toads but I wanted my own contract and maybe use it future stories.
Third now this one might be make a few of you mad. The Akatsuki will be the end result however it will just be a group of S class criminals. No Madara mainly because I believe that the series made him way to OP.
I know this might send some away but this is my end result.
Please Read and Review!
Until Next Time:
Dragon Vongola
